Official weights (both HDi Meridians) Hatch - 1155kg, Estate 1200kg, so you're about right.

Anyway...
Weighed the car today...

1180kg with half a tank of fuel.

My DT came in at 1030-1040kg when I weighed it, again with half a tank, no rear bench...

So yeah, 140kg less... I'd say that's about right...

1040 is very light...

Rear bench cant be 100kg surely?!

Theres no way that a xud11 lump is heavier by 40kg!!!

Esp as my whole car comes in at 30kg ish less than a gti6 book weight

Flipping ek...if you really wana be pedantic...

It ranges from 20.91mm in places to @ max of 21.43 due to paint/surface corrosion.

So I assumed they were 21mms!!
